Detailed Description
Research design: initial acceptance of 60 people, 30 in the no intervention group and 30 in the experimental group.
The no intervention group no use Traditional Chinese medicine. The experimental group use Traditional Chinese medicine. Affect natural pregnancy and IVF success factors, the quality of ovarian function plays a very important role. Currently used to predict ovarian follicle inventory indicators, including: age, the total number of small sized ovarian follicles, the first three days of menstrual follicle-stimulating hormone, Anti-Mullerian hormone, inhibin-B.
Research Analysis Chang Gung Memorial Hospital infertility patients using traditional Chinese medicine, more than 40-year-old infertility patients, the most commonly used compound is Zuo Gui Wan. Chinese medicine believes that elderly women with infertility ovulation poor, the main pathogenesis of kidney deficiency. The proportion of domestic infertility patients has increased year by year. Traditional Chinese medicine had become popular and acceptable, but the substantial evidence and treatment consensus of infertility are scanty.
Due to the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, which made it difficult to accept the case. Only 17 subjects in the experimental group completed the test. The average age of the subjects was 40.11 ±3.09 years old, and 9 of them were over 40 years old. The AMH before the test was all below 1.2. After three months of treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, 16 subjects had an increase in the number of small sized ovarian follicles. The average total number of small ovarian follicles before the test was 3.06±0.90, and the average increased to 4.53±1.46 after treatment. (P<0.05), which was statistically significant. Eleven subjects showed a decrease in follicle-stimulating hormone on the third day of menstruation after treatment, 9 subjects showed an increase in anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) value after treatment, and 3 subjects had anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) values higher than 1.2 after treatment, but they did not reach statistical significance.
